Our Day at the Woodland Park Zoo

We had a wonderful day today! Having been working on the house for so long- it's really a pleasure to have a free day to enjoy each other's company and all the great things Seattle has to offer. It had been a while since we'd been to the Woodland Park Zoo and today seemed like the perfect day. Turns out it was great! Most of the animals were out and active and the light snow kept away most of the visitors (even though it wasn't sticking). Here are some pictures!

A Kookaburra from Australia Mate! On the Northern Trail- Mr. Griz
Good story here. This is a Siamang- a member of the ape family. Everytime we visit the zoo, he comes over to me, sits right next to me across the glass and follows me around. He gets jealous when Vil comes near me. The last time we were there, I was told his trainer had long blond hair and he's drawn to women that have the same. I like to think it's just me :). Anyway- each time we go now, I visit my little ape friend. Here are some pictures of us today.

With his huge head, big paws and magnificent coat- this jaquar was a vision.

Froot Loops anyone?
Sleeping like a baby. It's creepy how human like the gorillas are. We spent a lot of time today just watching them.
A new addition to the zoo- they have a bird room with sticks of seed that you can feed them. It's a neat thing for kids- or for "kids at heart". Here are a few pictures of us having a good time.
Luckily- nothing hit Vil in the head after this shot...

Some video!
